THE POWERFUL SPEECH of Gen. Tom Ewing, in reply fo John Sherman’s Mansfield speech in support of his. resumption scheme, is attracting wide attention. Statesmen, politieians, journalists, business men, lawyers, farmers, laborers and mechbnics comment upon its remarkably able arguments. It ought to be published in pamphlet form and placed in the hands of every voter. Speeches of such argumentative power are quite rare during an erdindry campaign.

FuLL of truth is this remark of the Daviess County Democrat; “Governor ‘Blue Jeans’ is not so all fired handsome, but then he is a clever, sensible, plain old man, and if Indiana had more such men at the head of her affairs she would be far better off today.” - Yes, that plain old man understands 'the people’s wants and will al‘ways be found true to their interests. He i 3 neither scholarly nor pofished, but he-is thoroughly honest and has “a heap” of solid common sense.

e ~-~ AR .iE~ e R RS R kﬂr :mn . There is a strong probability of ar{icles of impeachment being preferred ‘against Justice Bradley at the next session of Congress. He is accused of several irregularities in higeonductas a member of the- Supreme Court and of being controlled in his decisions by corrupt influences. The N. Y. Sun has been after him with a sharp stick, and is making things quite lively for “Aliunde Joe,” as he is familiarly called in legal cireles. In Saturday’s issue that sprightly journal again presents its case against Bradley relative to his conduct as a member of the elect’bral‘ commission; : :

- That there may bé no misunderstanding, we will once more repeat -the facts as they have come to our ‘knowledge. Inthe Florida case Judge Bradley arrived 4t the conclusion that the votes of the Tilden electors must be admitted, and those of the Hayes electors rejected. This conclusion he communicated te Judge Field the evening before the tribunal was to act finally upon that question; and he also communicated to him the course of ‘reasoning through which his conclusion had been reached, and by which it was to be justified and maintained. During the night, however, seventeen carriages, more,oxr less, were gathered about his house, having brought there republican politicians and Pacific Railway men; and the next morning, when he came into the tribunal, he voted exactly contrary to the way in which he had informed Judge Field that he had resolved to vote. Yet, when his opinion came to be published, his argument was substantially identical with -the ‘argument upon’ which, as he had previously communicated it to Judge Field, the admission of the Tilden' votes and the rejection of the Hayes votes from Florida was to be based. . iyt

~ Judgé Field has recently been interviewed on this very important topic, and his ‘cautious if not evasive answers indicate pretty clearly that there is a good deal more to the Sun’s statement than we and many others were at first inclined to believe. We hope to see the whole matter undergo a thorough investigation. = =

. ¥iremen’s Tournament at Goshen, s .~ GosHEN, IND., Sept. 5. IBpecial to THE BANNER, ; - The Firemen’s Tournament, fwtliich has been on the tapis for the past ‘'month, was opened by a concert in .Hascall’s Hall by the Warsaw Band last evening, which was attended by a small but appreciative audience. - " The hotels commenced filling up on ‘Tuesday evening, and this morning ‘trains with fire companies and their friends on board kept constantly arriving until about 11 o’¢lock, when it - was estimated that there were probably 5,000 strangers in the city. The fire companies were formed for pa‘rade at 11 o’clock, and made a fine appearance as they mar(_:hed through the principal streets, there being no less “than. 14 hose companies, 5 hook and ladder companieé,jl steam and 2 hand engines, led by the Goshen, Wabash, Bremen, and Elkhart bands. After the procession, dinner was served in court house square to the visiting firemen.. About 600 men were fed. _

At 2 p. M. the sport was commenced by the steam engines. ' There being but’one, there was no competition, but the Warsaw engine made steam, and threw water, 100 feet in 4 min., 5614 seconds. Prize, $BO. :

The Hook & ladder contest was then opened by the “Rock City C 0.,” of Wabash, who ran 150 yards, raised ladder and sent a man 6ver top and down to the ground in 3114 seconds. The “A. M. Tuckers,” of Elkhart, took second wmoney; time 3314. Purse $llO. First prize, $80; second prize, $3O. The Ligonier boys wotld no doubt have taken first money had they not made some sefious blunders in getting off the ladder and in climbing, they having made the best run of all the companies on the ground. . ‘The next contest was for hose companies who had never beaten 42 sec.onds, - Purse $llO, First prize, $3O; second prize, $3O. Companies to run 40 rods to hydrant, lay 100 feet of hose, break c¢ouplings, screw on pipe, and throw water.. Theré were 21 entries and 11 starters. ' The‘money was carried off by the-“ Standpipes, No. 6,” and “Eagles, No. 2,” of South Bend. The first company made a record of 4114 seconds, and the latter 45 seconds.: - This ended the day’ssport. To-mor-row there will be a contest between hand engines, hase companies, and bands for prizes of $lOO, $lOO, $BO and #3O, ' Nine bands have been entered and will be present, and it is:thought there will bé even a larger crowd in attendance than to-day. @

The weather is all that could be de-sired-=cloudy, but no threatening rains.

It is plainly to be seen that the State and county elections next year are to be vigorous and spirited, as the wires of the politiciang are already being put in position. We hear it intimated that the workingmen are to organize in this Congressional District, with headquarters-at Elkhart, and that a Congressional ticket will be nominated. Free Kelley has missed it again, for he has taken to.the law and cannot come in as & “workman.”—Auburn Republican, -

If a workingmen’s party is to be organized in this District, with headquarters at Elkbart, you may bet your, bottom dollar that a candidate is lurking somewhere within the ‘sacred precincts of that enterprising city. Candidacies are not,as a general thing, overlookeéd by those who engage in the enterprise of building up new parties.

The famine in India increases in violence, and 24,000,000 souls are.affected by it. It is estimated that of this number at least 6,000,000 people will die the slow but sure death of starvation.

~ Cleveland Correspondence. ~ CLEVELAND,O, Aug. 30,"77. . The past few weeks will be held memorable in the nmiinds of the residents of Cleveland, on account of the meeting here of so many distinguished ‘bodies. - State and county conventions, ‘bringing among us the ‘talent and worth of ‘both parties. But the “trouby led waters”>have ndt reached a “gold basis,” in more than one sense,-hence imperfections in rank and file. Tuesday, August 14, was the great day for the Knights of Pythias. Lodges from all over the land were here to the grand “world’s review.” = The parade was not lacking in the usual pomp of such: orders, but the “strike” kept many lodges away, so the anticipated ten thousand did not reach half that number. But the procession was a success, and the city was alive the entire week with’ the doings of that order. . { : ‘

Tuesday, August 28th, the Knights Templar, in their Grand Triennial Conclave, came upon us in throngs, and have made the grandest show of the kind ever seen. . We were well aware that the walls of society were -pretty well Masoned, but had no idea that this one degree contaimred so many - bricks (excuse me, I meant members.) The formal reception was held at Case Hall on Monday evening, when Judge Spalding and Mayor Rose, in eloquent language, tendered to the multitude of [ knights the welcome and hospitality of Cleveland. Decorations were profuse and elegant. Immense .arches in quaint designs, and covered with flowers and evergreen, spanned the principal streets. Hotels, stores and resi‘dences were profusely trimmed with flags and flowers. The decorating ‘of the City Hall cost over three hundred dollars, that alone was worlh something to see. ~The procession moved prompt at half past nine o’clock, with nearly five thousand men, and fiftyseven bands, in line. - The costly uniforms, and glittering swords; the elegant banners and delicious music, and a fine looking set of men, made up the finest parade ever seen in Cleveland. They were one and three-quarters hours passing the City Hall, and we could but wonder how those men, 80 ‘many of them tnused to “tramping,” could endure the fatigue, as the day was extremely warm, and the sun shone very bright. Pennsylvania had the finest uniformed bands, two in particular were conspicuous for their original and elegant outfit and excellent music. Every State was repre--sented, and Canada also sent a fine delegation. In the evening the different commanderies had concerts and entertainments in various parts of the city, keeping on with one continued round of pleasure. On Wednesday was witnessed the prize drill, on the Northern Ohio Fair Grounds. I think we may be justified in feeling proud of our facilities for the accommoda‘tion and pleasure of so many strangers. The Fair Gronnds are large, beautifully adorned, and easy of access.— The L. S; & M. S. R. R. runs into the grounds, the St. Clair streel cars pass between the grounds, and the Lake View & Collamer railway at the south ‘side, accommodating both city and country, Thousands of people wit‘nessed the drill of eleven commanderies, and pronounced the exercises per-' fect throughout. In the evening we had dress parade, different entertainments, but the Knights encamped upon the grounds They have now ‘departed, leaving us a pleasant ~memory of the most delightful gathering we ever witnessed. § ' But amid all-this pleasure our hearts beat with mufifled sadness for the horror of the war east, and the sad condition of our country at large. We grow 50 weary of war,so tired of political jangling, so pitiful for the places laid waste by wind, fire and water, that our pulses almost cease to beat, and we wonder if peace will ever come. But there i 8 no comfort in repining, so we will hope for the best. A.R.E.

iider Black has been vindicated. It will be remembered that the Indianapolis Sentinel gained some notoriety for exposing the improper intimacy said to have grown'up between Rev. W. F. Black and a Miss Voss, of Indianapolis. Affldavits and counter affidavits were published thick and fast and the disgusting details and more disgusting inferences were eagerly devoured and dwelt on by the scandal-loving public. After six or eight months the Sentinel has suddenly become convinced thai it did the Elder great injustice, and publishes affidavits, which, those familiar with the cage say, contain nothing new. Some other considerations may have induced: that great moral newspaper to retract. —SBullivan Democrat, . %

The editor of the Benton county Democrat was recently assaulted by an indignant saloon keeper and brutally beaten. The Democrat has been vigorously fighting for some time in the cause of temperance, saying many bard things against the dealers in stimulants. This aroused the hostility of the liguor man, and resulted in the editor getting severely handled.— His brutal assailant ‘was bound over to answer at the Benton Circuit Court and we hope that the severest penalty the law can inflict will be meted out. The Democrat man is a reformed drunkard, nobly battling to gain that standing in society which is accorded a good and sober citizen, and we do not “wonder that he wuses vigorous language in depicting the evils of intemperance, an evil from which he has suffered years of woe, misery and degradation.—Exchange, yesh :

¢ Mysterious MMurder in Chicago. A most mysterious murder occurred in Chicago, Monday evening of last week, at twilight.. A young, well educated and beautiful girl, respected and beloved by her familyand friends, went to the housé of a neighbor for a pleasant chat. It was scarcely dusk and ‘the gas ‘was not lit in the street. Immediately after her entrance a young Irishman, who was employed as a sexton in a Catholic church, followed her into the house, but no conversation took place between the man andfthe other persons in the room. In fact he was regarded as a semi-idiot, and was allowed to come in the houses of the Catholic parishoners about as hepleased. Fora moment he and the young lady were left alone, when he, without a word of warning shot her in the forehead, killing her instantly. Escaping from the house he ran to his room, and when the officers in pursuit arrived he had committed suicide and was lying on the floor dead. No motive or reason can be even guessed, as there had been no intimacy, or even friendship, between the two, and the lady had never addressed him as her social equal, but ‘much as she would a child or inferior, on account of his defective mental ability. But the motive is lost forever, for death has sealed the lips of the only human beings who knew what secret impulse prompted the terrible deed. . )

A 81,000,000 Fire in Missouri.

P4ARIs, Mo., Aug. 31.—A fire broke out'about 1 o’clock this afternoon in the City Saloon, and spread rapidly on the east, west, and south sides of the square until about ten blocks of business and dwellings were consumed, including three hotels, the post office, telegraph and express offices.

- Raphael Semmes Dead. Indianapolis Journal, Sy ; The death of Raphael Semmes, captain of the Confederate cruiser “Alabama,” is announced. ° He was born in Maryland, in 1809, and appointed a midshipman in the United States Navy in 1826, and rose through various grades to the rank of commander in 1855. At the breaking out of the war in 1861 he was Secretary of the Light-House Board in, Washington. He resigned this position to enter the Southern gervice, and was at once appointed commander in the Confederate Navy.

After this battle Semmes was picked up by an English yacht and carried to England. - This was his last active service. After the war he was imprisoned for several months but finally released. He was subsequently appointed professor of moral philogophy in the State Seminary of "Louisiana, and for the last few years has led a quiet life, He was an able commander, and his career up to the time of his joining the rebellion was ‘patriotic and honorable. ‘

Many farmers have lost hundreds of hogs. A low estimate would be $7,000 worth of hogs have died in this county alone since Januarylast. In Peoria and Woodford counties the loss has been even greater. In Tazewell, Knox, McDonough, and Henry Counties the ravages of the disease have been very great. About four months ago 2 man came to this city from Pennsylvania, who, soon after his arrival began treating hogs for cholera, and his success has been so great as to give him considerable notoriety all over this section of the country. His remedy is a secret with himself. He will take a lot, say of 100 sick hogs, and commence treating them. In three or four days most of them : will be entirely cured, and at the end of seven or eight days, on an average, 90 out of the 100 will be restored to health. He scarcely ever lases a “patient,” and: then only when the hog is too far gq(xile to eat -the preparation he provides. . : .

In an interview with your correspondent he refused to make public his remedy, but sags the hogs eat it readily when mixed with .food. The disease he says, begins in the stomach, and next affects the lungs. This is the second stage. After a hog Has been sick for a day or two he breathes hard. The third and last stage is when the disease attacks the heart. There is no trouble, he says, to cure them either in. the first or second stages, but sometimes he fails when they reach the third. - Jo The preparation referred to above will be sent, prepaid, to any address, on receipt of one dollar.
